Abstract
As reported in a recent paper by Whitehouse and Walker (1978) copper has effective anti-inflammatory (AI)properties. Various copper Cu or Cu”‘“ compounds are currently being synthetized and studied on experimental models of inflammation in order to find an active and altogether innocuous molecule. In human clinic, copper treatment of inflammation was already utilized in the middle of the century by Forestier in France and by Hangarter and Lubke in Germany (reviewed by Sorenson and Hangarter, 1977). Both treatments were given by the intravenous route, not in favor among clinicians. The discovery of cortisone at the same period and progress in the chemistry of non-steroidal AI compounds put for a while the copper molecules into disuse.
